Surgical Cases Related to Liposuction of the Neck

This case depicts a 41 year old woman who wanted to achieve a more youthful appearance to her neck. Because she had good skin quality, Dr. Belsley felt that her skin would retract appropriately after liposuction. She underwent ultrasound assisted liposuction of the upper neck. Her post-operative photographs show her at just over two months after surgery.

Because I felt that her skin elasticity (i.e., the ability of the skin to "snap back") was excellent for her age, I performed ultrasound assisted liposuction to the neck and jowl region without a face lift. Her post-operative photographs show her at approximately two and a half months after surgery.
